Grandma's Feather Bed

Recorded by John Denver

Lyrics and music by Jim Connor

C F

When I was a little bitty boy,

C G7

just up off the floor

C F

We used to go down to Grandma's house,

C G7 C

every month end or so

C F

We had chicken pie and country ham,

C G7

and home made butter on the bread

C F

But the best darn thing about Grandma's house

C G7 C

was her great big feather bed

Chorus:

C

It was nine feet tall and six feet wide,

F C

soft as a downy chick

It was made from the feathers of forty-leven geese,

D7 G7

took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

C

It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs

F C

and a piggy we stole from the shed

C7 F

We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lotta fun

G7 C

on Grandma's feather bed

After supper we'd sit around the fire

the old folks'd spit and chew

Pa would talk about the farm and war

and Granny'd sing a ballad or two

I'd sit and listen and watch the fire

till the cobwebs filled my head

Next thing I'd know, I'd wake up in the mornin'

in the middle of the old feather bed

Repeat chorus

Well, I love my Ma, I love my Pa

I love Granny and Grandpa too

I been fishin' with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin

and I even kissed Aunt Lou - ooh!

But if I ever had to make a choice

I guess it oughta be said

that I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road

for Grandma's feather bed

Repeat chorus
